BIG LOGGING PLANS WILL [JOHN W. JOHNSON HULET BOOM UP-LINE VILLAGES| OUT BY SUPREME GCOURT Well-known Bemidji Resident Suddenly Called Beyond—Had Been Sick a Week. Henry Partridge, more famil- iarly known as ‘“Hank,”’ died this morning at 7 o’clock, death re- sulting from a severe attack of pneumonia. Mr. Partridge became ill a week ago, and the disease made such progress that he was critically ill shortly after taking to his bed. He was a very fleshy. man and not of robust. constitu- tion, and in no condition to' over- come a severe illness. He has a son, Merritt Par- tridge of Martinsville, Ind., who is expected to arrive in the city this evening, when arrangements will be made for the funeral. “Hank” Partridge came to Be- midji some six years ago, from Bolliver, N. Y., and has made his bome here since then. He was employed at the saloon of Clavin & Tanoer, and has always been known as being absolutely square and fair .in his dealings with his fellow men.
